It looks like Kimi is the man to beat this weekend. After a bit slower 2nd Friday practice the BMWs are back on the pace. Renaults have a mountain to climb unless they have been hiding their true pace so far this weekend.

There are some interesting movements of the technical staff as well. Cases of Nigel Stepney (fired by Ferrari) and Mike Coughlan (suspended by McLaren) are well publicized in connection with the spy saga. The other movements are less dramatic and they all involve Honda.

Two weeks after British GP comes the German race. Nurburgring and Hockenheim are alternating the race from this year. Hockenheim has the naming rights for German GP, so this year race in Germany is staged as European GP.
